PSAL. CXLVIII. Hallelujah

From heav'n O praise the Lord, Him praise the heights within All's Angels praise afford, All's Armies praise ye him. O give him praise Sun and Moon-bright, All Stars of light, O give him praise.

Ye heav'ns of heav'ns him praise, The Lords Name let them praise, 'Bove heav'ns ye waters clear For he spake made they were. Them stablisht he For ever and aye: Nor pass away Shall his decree,

Praise God from th' earth below, Ye dragons and each deep. Fire, hail, and mist, and snow, Whirlwinds, his Word which keep Mountains also And hills all ye: Each fruitful tree, All Cedars too.

Beasts, also cattel all, Things creeping, fowls that fly. Earths kings, and peoples all Peers all, th' earths judges high. Do ye always, Young men & maids, Old men & babes The Lords Name praise

For his Name's onely high, His glory 'bove earth and heav'n His folks horn he lifts high: The praise of all's Saints, even The sons who be Of Israel dear, His people near, The Lord Praise ye.
